But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. "What are you looking for?" he asked. "Rabbi," they answered (or, as we should say, "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"

And because he did not need that others should tell him what men were; for he could of himself read what was in men.

For he who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, for fear that his actions should be exposed;

And his will is this--that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last Day.

For it is the will of my Father that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have Immortal Life; and I myself will raise him up at the Last Day."

"Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?

For no one does a thing privately, if he is seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world."

And yet you have not learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his Message to heart.

"Neither the man nor the parents," replied Jesus; "but he was born blind that the work of God should be made plain in him.

His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that, if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.

And Jesus added: "It was to put men to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind."

"Did not I tell you," replied Jesus, "that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?"

"You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed."

The Chief Priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if any one learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.

'He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn--And I should heal them.'

Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, on account of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, for fear that they should be expelled from their Synagogues;

I have come as a Light into the world, that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.

For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.

In my Father's Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.

It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that should remain, so that the Father might grant you whatever you ask in my Name.

Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.

Even as thou gavest him power over all mankind, that he should give Immortal Life to all those whom thou has given him.

It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews, that it was best that one man should die for the people.

From Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Government House. It was early in the morning. But they did not enter the Government House themselves, lest they should become 'defiled,' and so be unable to eat the Passover.

"If he had not been a criminal, we should not have given him up to you," they answered.

"Mary!" said Jesus. She turned round, and exclaimed in Hebrew: "Rabboni!" (or, as we should say, 'Teacher').

"If it is my will that he should wait till I come," answered Jesus, "what has that to do with you? Follow me yourself."

So the report spread among the Brethren that that disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said "If it is my will that he should wait till I come, what has that to do with you?"
